Happy RAINY weekend...

Hi, everyone. First, thanks for the good work with Mr. J yesterday (Friday) in class. Of course, I can field any research-related questions you might currently have when I return on Monday. Feel free to continue the research on your own this weekend!

Reminder: be prepared for all director research-related items this next Friday, April 30...ESSAYS and PRESENTATIONS.

And, like always, check the newly updated "important dates" and "weekly schedule" links to the right.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

WEEKEND UPDATE:

Hi, everyone! The Robinson clan made it back home safe and sound from the hospital late this morning...all is well although, Mom is still in pain.

I hope everything's been going well with Mr. J! And HOPEFULLY you've been able to read some selections in class these past couple of days that kept you interested.

I'll be back to class on Monday, and we'll spend that day doing a bunch of review in order to "catch up"...for me and for you guys! Plus, we'll continue our "genre" discussion and, of course, finish "Bang..." and accompanying discussion.

Please check out the updated "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to fully prepare for next week.

Have a good weekend, all!

Baby News!

It's a GIRL! hahahaha....Quinn Nora Robinson, born this morning at 1:54 A.M....10 lbs. and 2 ounces! Yikes...wife/mom is fine...everyone's fine. Thanks for all the thoughts and well-wishes!

First, please continue to check this site for updates/announcements/directions in addition to Mr. J in class.

You'll be on a bit of an altered schedule this week due to my string of absences. As soon as the "National Treasure" assignment is complete, we'll delay the rest of the "genre" talk until I get back. Instead, be prepared to have time for a FREE READ in class on Thursday and Friday (if i'm not present). This means bring something to class with which you'll be interested in reading for pleasure! This also means that the quiz that is scheduled for Monday regarding "genres" will be delayed until further notice.

As of now, I will definitely be absent for class tomorrow (Thursday) and most likely on Friday. But again, keep checking this blog for updates!

Hope all is well, everyone.

We're almost back!

Yippee, huh?! :)

Seriously though, i'm looking forward to seeing you all again and getting back down to business.

I hope that you guys have enjoyed your breaks and that you had safe traveling and a lot of fun with family/friends.

As for the Robinson household, STILL no baby news...the wife is ummmmmm...a bit impatient with the ol' baby at this point...just wants it to pop out already, ya know? Anyway, we're also all recovered (kind of) from the Spartan bball debacle a while back...I know you all care. :)

Regarding the class, check out the "weekly schedule" and "important dates" links to the right in order to review the upcoming week. Also, remember that we've got a big "Novel Adaptation" due date on Monday! Remember to bring your assignment AND your book that day. Please let me know if you need anything in this last day or two, everyone.

Take care!

PS. I suppose if you do NOT see me on Monday, it's due to upcoming baby news...fingers crossed.

The wife and I are currently in mourning after the bball loss...and still no baby!

In all seriousness, I hope you guys are enjoying your time off!

Take care, and let me know if there's anything you need from me.

Pre-Spring Break UPDATE...

Just three more school days, everyone!

Check out the newly updated "important dates" and "weekly schedule" links to the right.

Feel free to make as much progress in your novels as you want, and be reminded that if you DO finish early with the novel AND the written notes, check in with me. Then, you can move on to other reading materials if so desired.

Have a good weekend, all!
